I'm new to this seach process and feeling alot confused about where to look and what I'm actually looking for.

I've been doing seaches for the the following surnames : Stampp, Hylton, Wyles and Watt. for Hylton alone I got back 142 listing when I searched the IGI. None of them were names I could recognize. I'm sure there was probably useful info in the search result but I'm really not sure what I should be looking for. One thing did jump out at me though . Henry Lancelot Hylton b.1825 in St Cathrine. My uncle's name was Lancelot and I'm wondering if its a common name in jamaica or if Its more likely to be a family name and a lead that I should follow. I no longer have any family sources that I can tap for information so any suggestions about what a next step might be would be welcome.
